    I think the easiest way is to check the fine print on your electrical bill, or even to go check your building’s energy meter directly. Utility companies need to know how much power you’re using so they can charge you for the usage. As a result, they make sure to track consumption very carefully.

    Of course, seeing how much power your house uses overall doesn’t tell you how to reduce that consumption. That’s where smart home solutions and building management systems (BMS) come in handy. As the Publicstar website shows, BMS controls can be used to track how much power is being used and to help you reduce that usage.

    Tracking like that can help you figure out how much of your power consumption is going to heating or cooling the house, for example. Or how much power is being used by kitchen appliances. You can even use this kind of tracking to keep an eye on phantom power usage, which is the power devices consume even when they are not being used.
